Inversion of "it would be next to impossible"

I recently read an article in which contains the phrase "would be next to impossible". However, I have no idea how to construct a sentence with the negative meaning of the above phrase. Please someone let me know whether following sentence is correct or not.


Nevertheless, it would not be next to impossible to implement such a system.


Basically, what I need to write is a sentence which provides similar meaning to the following sentence.

Nevertheless, it is feasible to implement such a system.
